[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can a current Magnet Gunctions/Precalculus family post an example of one homework problem, to give a sense of what it is?  And how many problem there are like that per week?

Also, Blair/Magnet does 4x2 block scheduling, with each class every second day, right?
So when someone says "X hrs , Y pages, Z problems per night of homework", do they mean every night, or half the nights? [/quote]

My kid is in precalculus and didn’t have much to do during the week this week but probably spent six hours yesterday working on his precalculus homework. It was 35 problems, plus 40 minutes of watching a video and taking detailed notes (about six pages of notes which had to be submitted as a photo, so watching the video took much longer than 40 mins).  He usually breezes through everything so I was surprised at how much time he had to spend on each of these problems but also thought that 35 tough problems was a lot.[/quote]
"35 tough problems" is oxymoronic; we can conclude that almost all the problems must be very easy. If a question takes 5 mins to work out, it's easy by definition.[/quote]
